Food was very good! It was a busy Friday of the week of the 4th and the service was very good!! We had a wonderful time!! Christine Crowder Aiken SC read more

Good food and relaxing setting on the waterfront. The crab cakes are on point as well as sauteed shrimp and scallops. Sauteed vegetables, not so much. Overcooked and mushy. Overall I'd eat there again gladly. read more

Lunch today at the River Room. We go twice a year when in town, We ordered 2 glasses of wine and it took 15 minutes to arrive. Then ordered food and it took 25 minutes to arrive. Ordered salmon salad and shrimp pasta. The salmon was over cooked and dried out. Ordered 2 more drinks but had to cancel because we could wait no longer after another 15 minutes. We had booked a sight seeing tour. The place was full of locals drinking ice tea. It was bike week which added more patrons. Server was very nice but what the heck is going on? Please hire more people, be prepared and pay staff better or you will be closing soon. read more

We have always loved River Room. We hadn't been there in a few years ( we are from Missouri). We went last night and were so excited to have Sautéed Pound Cake. It was terrible. It was a fat piece of cake.... Not a slice of pound cake.....nothing like it used to be. We probably won't go back there.....soooooo disappointing read more

Hour to get food, excuses from manager, Not returning. Had to ask for a comp, only 10 percent. Not returning.

My hometown go to for fresh seafood. You don't have to drive to the beach or Murrells Inlet for great seafood. The River Room on Front Street has good food, a nice river/ Harborwalk view, and friendly service. The prices are less too. I have been eating here for 34 years and have never been disappointed. My favorite is the seafood platter with flounder, shrimp, scallops, oysters, stuffed crab, and hush puppies.(such a larger portion my husband and I split it) . The strawberry vinaigrette salad dressing was a wonderful summer dressing for my salad. My dinner guests enjoyed the grilled grouper, and crab cakes. My favorite side is always the southern grits. For dessert the special was strawberry ice cream pie. Heavenly!! After dinner walk off those extra calories on Georgetown's Beautiful River Walk or sit in the park and "people watch". Both outside The River Room door. read more

The service was great! The food was delicious. Everyone loved what they ordered. We also really loved their cornbread! The ambiance was also nice. read more

River Room - Seafood platter Stuffed chicken Shrimp and grits Striped bass - Seafood Near Me - Georgetown, South Carolina

After we were seated and orders were taken, we had warm rolls and cornbread, which were good. Our appetizers arrived quickly and while the black eyed pea cakes were flavourful, the fried calamari was fried for way too long and dried out. After each having a small salad which were fresh and the right sized portion. We were served our entrees. The blackened ribeye was very salty and slightly overcooked. The sirloin was slightly undercooked. The grouper and tuna however were both cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. We did not order dessert. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambiance and views were pleasant as well. I recommend a visit. Just stick to the really good seafood. read more

Came here for the first time with my hubby for lunch and dinner this past weekend. The restaurant was clean and the servers extra friendly. Food and drinks were on point. Since I have a shellfish allergy I have a hard time finding good food at the waterfront towns. We ordered grilled chicken and veggies for lunch and stuffed chicken breast for dinner. Both were seasoned perfectly and on point. The bread basket was hot and yummy. Definitely will return. Yum and great air conditioned views of the waterfront. read more

It's a Georgetown classic all indoor seating. Very nice restaurant great food clean atmosphere

This is a lovely rustic themed restaurant in downtown Georgetown. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so we walked in and were seated straight away on a Saturday night for an early dinner. Our server was friendly and personable. Food was reasonably priced, tasty and given in large portions. read more

Staff very friendly, great water views. The daily specials are great! The blueberry cornbread a must try. The food never disappoints.

Our foodie experience at River Room was probably or favorite of the whole trip. The drinks they served were strong and delicious. We ordered the fresh chips and blue cheese, sounds super basic but we were delivered a mountain and devoured every single bite. The side salads they served were fresh and the blue cheese dressing is homemade and chunky...YUM! I ordered the Baked Salmon. It had a Parmesan horseradish soufflé on top. It was to die for. Loved every bite of this meal. I wished we skipped out on going to Root the next night and came back here instead. read more

We ate lunch there last Saturday, June 22. The restaurant has a pleasant, casual atmosphere with a nice riverfront view. Our server was friendly and attentive; however, the rest of our experience was disappointing. We waited around an hour for our food even though it was not particularly crowded, and we had ordered what we thought would be simple-prep meals. When our food arrived, it was nothing special, not as good as an average Saturday lunch at home... and it had taken much longer to fix and of course had not been inexpensive. We had been hoping to enjoy delicious fresh seafood during our day trip to Georgetown, but in the end we both wished we'd eaten somewhere else. read more

Good food at reasonable price. The servers are always so nice. Love the view. Great place to go a sunset.

Great atmosphere and very good food at a good price, sets River Room apart. Jo (my wife) and I were traveling home from a beach trip with my daughter and grandchildren. We decided to take the coastal route as it was shorter miles (due to the gas shortage...) and much more scenic. I yelped ahead of us to pick a place for lunch and remembered that Georgetown was a historic town that might be a nice place as well to take a break. After running through quite a few restaurants, River Run seemed to fit the bill with good food and a waterfront view! Located on the historic waterfront River Room's dining room has a commanding view of the water and all sorts of boats from large fishing charter to sailing boats docked all along the docks. We were seated in a room a tier above the bottom level tables in an area that had a rustic wooden nautical finished with a large aquarium and and antique pictures and fixtures. After a quick look at the menu, Jo went for the seafood platter and I opened for the the shrimp creole with rice lunch special. I added the seafood gumbo as It seemed worth a try. Our server kept up with our beverages and lemon needs while we waited for our meals. I received my gumbo a and Jo her house salad with a herb vinaigrette. My gumbo had nice chunks of chicken and Anjou sausage. The latter having a nice spice and plentiful pieces of adding to the enjoyment I had with this soup. My creole followed shortly afterwards and was good with at least a half a dozen nice sized fresh shrimp and rice in a tomato and pepper sauce! Jo's seafood platter was to impress with four fried scallops, shrimp, oysters and fried fried flounder filet with a deviled crab. The latter was good but not your Maryland variety if you know what I mean... We passed on dessert as we were well satisfied with our meal. Food and Beverage 4 - Well prepared food and very tasty and fresh . Portion was good in all cases! Service 4 Server was helpful and kept up with our needs. Atmosphere 5 Really nice comfortable nautical atmosphere, with a great view of waterfront! Price 4.5 For an nice to up scale restaurant the value is here and worth a visit! OA 4.5 Good place to go to and enjoy your visit to Georgetown. We plan to come back and eat here! read more

We have enjoyed dinner at the River Room several times and yesterday we had lunch for the first time. While they have great steaks (so I have been told) we always order seafood. For lunch I had the Shrimp and Oyster Po Boy with fries. There were a ton of plump fried oysters and shrimp with lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. As with each dinner I've had here, the lunch was excellent. I really like the setting of the River Room on the River, of course. The ambiance inside is nautical and very comfortable. Get a table near a window if you can. read more

We stopped by here for a drink before we went to Murrells Inlet for supper. My wife decided since she had no lunch and supper was a couple of hours away, she would get an appetizer to hold her over. She ordered a bowl of she crab soup. Fortunately, I got to taste it. It was amazing. The soup was very tasty and had a huge pile of crab in the middle of it. We have eaten there before and very much enjoyed it. The waitress was very efficient and friendly. I liked the fact they processed my credit card right at the table. The ambiance was nice. Since we were there mid afternoon it was quiet and nice, not too crowded. We have decided we will definitely return to this place and not ride all the way to Murrells Inlet for dinner as we did that day. read more

My husband and I had dinner at this establishment 11/1/24. First the service was extremely slow; waited at least 1/2 hr for appetizer's and another 1/2 hr for entree's. Had to ask the server what specials were, where she volunteered this info to other customers around us. Server avoid eye contact with us and had to be called over multiple times for various service; but she checked up on others around us. The steak was tough, baked potato and sweet potato fries were cold. Crab balls were tasty, but everything else was just ok (grouper. bang bang shrimp). Ordered a margarita, after a couple sips, asked the server to switch it out for a glass of wine because I did not like the drink. When we got our receipt, not only were both drinks still on the bill, but also two entrees over $50 was erroneously on the bill. When I challenged why both drinks were on the bill, she then says you are not allowed to switch out a drink. That would have not been a big deal if she had communicated that when I originally requested to switch out the drink, giving me a choice up front. Asked for manager that comes over loud and defensive. The bill was ultimately corrected for the additional entrees but the drink was not credited. When I asked a to go cup for the added drink (since forced to pay for it), the server placed the cup turned sideways on the table. I don't typically write reviews, but this was one of the worst customer service experience we've ever had and the food wasn't that great either. read more

Visited the River Room Labor Day weekend. The food was just ok but the service was outstanding! We traveled to Georgetown by boat and took an Uber to the restaurant. After dinner we had difficulty getting an Uber back to the hotel and the waitress arranged for an employee to drive us back to the hotel. We were all pleasantly surprised. Would return again. read more

First tine in Georgetown as we stopped on the way to Charleston. Enjoy this place on the river with a view. Had the Santa Fe Salad with Grilled Mahal which was grilled to perfection. Was a nice meal to have in our travels. read more

River Room - Santa Fe Salad with Grilled Mahai - Seafood Near Me - Georgetown, South Carolina

We were starving when we got there and we were looking forward to some fresh seafood. Hot rolls and fresh cornbread were delivered to the table and both were very good. Two of us ordered the sautéed shrimp and scallops. Big mistake. Our food arrived at the table warm, but not hot, and scallops had no flavor and the shrimp were very tough and chewy. How a restaurant specializing in seafood can't cook shrimp is baffling. I'd heard good things about River Room, but we won't go back. read more

Great seafood selection excellently prepared. Good service. Good ambiance. Reasonably priced.

Nothing bad to say about this spot! Menu appears a little set in stone, e.g., fish prepared according to chef's pairings, but they allowed me to get my salmon in the blackened preparation that another fish was listed on the menu. It was excellent. Grits and collards were incredible. Can't remember what fish my mom ordered (I want to say grouper), but it was great as well. Our server was friendly and made us feel welcome and not rushed whatsoever. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and view of a beautiful sunset over the river. Drinks were great. Bread pudding was an amazing and I dare say semi-necessary note to end on. read more

Relaxed, great wait staff, best she crab soup I've had in the area. Wife had oyster/fried green tomatoes stack. I had shrimp and grits. New Orleans style bread pudding for dessert. Great lunch. read more

Stopped on our drive home from Charleston and had an excellent dinner! Well situated table overlooking the dock and a very friendly waitress made for a good evening and a couple of local SC beers were quickly delivered. We shared well prepared fried calamari followed by two fresh mixed salads topped with a way better than average blue cheese dressing. Our mains were totally exceptional; shrimp and scallops in a creamy clam sauce with pasta were perfectly cooked and served piping hot. The menu is small but we prefer that as it allows a kitchen to excel when it is not stressed by an unlimited slew of dishes. One small complaint was the small portion of corn bread but I think I know why......it was so good it could be addictive! I am puzzled why we have lived in the region for ten plus years and never been here before but we will be back soon. read more

Had shrimp Alfredo lunch portion good size for lunch and so delicious. Price was right too. My wife had chicken Alfredo. She said it was very good. We had a boom boom shrimp appetizer that was not all batter. Light batter and tasty suave. I was pleased. My wife had a red blend of wine. She said very good. I'll be back here again soon read more

Always the best food and drinks in town. I come here a few times a year for work and this is always a stop.

Very nice lunch on the river The good was great as was the service. Loved the she-crab soup.

My most favorite bar in all of Georgetown food staff atmosphere and the regulars are some of the best

A standard in Georgetown. Good food, good service and great ambience. The locals love it and the location is perfect.

Three of us had lunch at the River Room yesterday. Our table had a great view of the river and it was interesting to see the boats and all the activity on the Sampit. The plates we ordered were shrimp creole, pecan chicken salad, and a hamburger...all were very good. Very reasonable prices on the food and the wine. Service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend the River Room for the service, food, prices, and the atmosphere. read more

Had not been here since teenage years. Visited on a rainy day during July 4th vacation at Litchfield. We wanted to try screw things so we got a soup and a gumbo. Gumbo was the best then got a creole dish. Food was great and would return for that. Wish staff had a bit more instruction on what to touch and when when wearing ppe. Otherwise exactly as I remembered it. very good. Hope to be back! read more

This downtown Georgetown restaurant has been around for a long time and has consistently great food. We were lucky to get a river-front table. I got the shrimp and grits.

River Room is settled right on the water and has a lovely view of Georgetown. The inside is decorated with wood, old fashioned lights, plants, and an aquarium. The decor is very welcoming. Our food arrived very quickly and was fresh and delicious. The fries and onion rings were especially good. I don't eat seafood but the others at my table seemed to really enjoy theirs. Their sweet tea was also a highlight. I would nightly recommend this restaurant for any one stopping by looking for a casual and yummy dinner or lunch! read more

The menu selection was a little on the thin side but everything else was good. The shrimp and scallops was delicious. My daughter went with the salmon, which she promptly inhaled. The charbroiled grouper was my wife's pick, and was a bit on the bland side, but overall we were pleased with the quality of the food and the service. Would come back. read more

Beautiful view and atmosphere, service was friendly but initially slow. Inconsistencies with the food. My dining mates and I came for lunch. Menu features salads, sandwiches esp. fish and seafood sandwiches, burgers, 2 soups, seafood platters, lunch specials, desserts, craft beers and wine. We ordered the clam chowder, shrimp and grits, burger and fries, and the lunch speciial : Asian glazed Atlantic salmon. The chowder was pretty good, some gritty clams tasted, and some kind of fish aftertaste so not tasting like clam chowders I am used too. My dining mates really enjoyed the shrimp and grits as well as the burger. However two of us did not like the salmon at all, dry, not tender and the glaze way to hot and spicey. So we returned it for the pecan chicken salad which was tasty. We were not charged for returning the salmon. Food plated nicely, prices moderate. Not sure if I would return again read more

A great little find! As we were traveling back to Myrtle Beach from Charleston we made a "curiosity stop" in Georgetown. This restaurant has a picturesque dockside setting. The staff were so welcoming and the portions were huge! Shrimp & Grits were homey and delicious! The salad greens were really fresh and the vinaigrette was well seasoned. I ordered the Flounder Dinner which was enough to feed me that night and my husband the next day! I want to see more of Georgetown someday and will surely include The River Room next time! read more

The gumbo was good, the chicken salad sandwich was made from a grilled chicken pattie. I must eat GF, of which we called ahead & was assured they could accommodate. There is no GF menu. The server tried to accommodate by suggesting a salad w grilled shrimp. The shrimp was over cooked, dry, & highly over spiced. The salad was a bowl of spring greens w 3 cherry tomatoes & a few cucumbers slices. Not impressed for a seafood restaurant. read more
